In Photoshop you could use masks to select certain areas. Does Gimp have masks?

Oh, man. I just googled on "gimp mask" and discovered a strange aspect of BDSM that I *really* didn't want to know about... gaaaahhh.

But I found this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KTMe7UKq_UE

So yeah, Gimp has layer mask capabilities. Cool. I know masks are one way to select areas. But I am not very skilled with masks, myself. I usually use one of the selection tools, usually the one that's called the Polygonal Lasso in Pshop. It lets you click from point to point to make a selection. I usually zoom in pretty close, too. It makes it easier.
